ADVANCED UNDERWATER LIGHTING SOLUTIONS The SOLA platform has redefined underwater lighting with its reliable factory sealed design, compact form, and intuitive feature sets. “Never in the history of underwater photography has a light this size and weight produced such amount of light without umbilical cables and external battery packs” -Deepshots UK Hal Wolter | Global Sales Manager 831.269.3961 | [email protected] Photo Credits: Jeff Honda, Shawn Heinrichs, Jill Heinerth FL-1 STANDARD | UNIVERSAL QUALITY STANDARDS Performance testing protocol defined by ANSI/NEMA to normalize specification ratings, Light & Motion was the first to adopt and effectively pushed it across the bike industry.

  • Undersea Adventures Titan I Missile Silo Complex
    UNDERSEA ADVENTURES TITAN I MISSILE SILO COMPLEX Statement of Understanding I understand that: 1. Because I will be diving in an environment of total darkness, I have a primary dive light and a back up dive light in good working condition with fully charged batteries. A glow stick in a visible place is required. 2. Access to the dive site involves climbing ladders, walking on uneven surfaces, stepping over, onto and down from obstructions. This is a salvaged missile silo and has many sharp jagged pieces of metal that may damage equipment if snagged. Access and exiting can be strenuous. I must be physically able to carry my equipment to and from the dive site. 3. I am aware that there are vertical drops in excess of 100 feet and mastery of buoyancy control is essential. 4. The missile silo is an underground, completely closed area and that there is only one way in and one way out of the dive site and that I will be walking through 8 foot corridors to access the launch tube. 5. These structures in the launch tubes contain many swim-throughs. There are also doorways and passage ways in and out of the tube. These are smaller than they appear to be under water. I understand that I must determine the actual size of the opening before attempting to enter. I will not enter areas with overhead environments unless trained to do so, then only with permission and under the supervision of the Divemaster in charge. 6. In all diving activities, the buddy system is important.

    Published by Liberty systems s.r.o., www.CCRLiberty.com Tomáš Sládek, Aleš Procháska, Jakub Šimánek Date of issue: 16.

The CCR Liberty is intended for use exclusively by a trained person who is capable of fully understanding the instructions contained in this manual or is in the process of training with the CCR Liberty in a course accredited by the manufacturer. The initial requirements of such a training course include qualification for diving with trimix recognized by a training agency and sufficient experience with technical diving. Responsibility of the CCR Liberty user Strong emphasis was placed on reliability during the development of the CCR Liberty. Individual internal parts are separated in order to minimize the impact that failure of a given part may have on the rebreather’s basic functionality. A number of systems have multiple backups. The logic of the CCR Liberty’s control never prohibits the start of a dive even in the event that malfunctions are detected; it only indicates the status if able to do so in light of the damage. When cave diving, the inability to submerge can mean not being able to return from a dive; therefore, the CCR Liberty does not impede submersion.
